"Each day, about 4000 teens smoke a cigarette for the first time. That's nearly 1.5 million youths per year. Nicotine addiction is so powerful that every day about 1000 teens become daily smokers." "A Report of the Surgeon General: How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease, 2010." Most people do not realize how destructive cigarette smoking really is. Some believe that smoking only damages the lungs - as if that isn't bad enough. They have no idea how destructive smoking can be to the cardiovascular system. Many smokers also seem willing to "take chances" that their organs will not be damaged. This assumption is far from reality. With habitual smoking, the lungs and cardiovascular system will be damaged. Dance of the Cilia explains what happens when "being cool" becomes an addictive illness. Without getting too complicated, the book provides basic medical information on the extensive biological damage to multiple organs caused by smoking. The diseases are explained so they can be understood by those without a medical or science background. Dance of the Cilia provides the reader an invaluable minimedical guide on cancer and major life-threatening diseases of the lungs and cardiovascular system. This book is direct and "in your face" - a reasonably quick and simple read. It gives concise answers to challenging, serious topics: How smoking causes emphysema, chronic bronchitis, high blood pressure, heart disease, atherosclerosis, blood vessel damage, cancer, multiple organ damage, and addiction. How smoking causes chronic inflammation, and how damaging it is to our tissues and organs. How tissues and cells respond to cigarette toxins - and how damaged tissues and cells respond when the smoking stops. Dance of the Cilia is a vital read for teens, young adults, parents - and smokers. For several years, Don Christensen has been an instructor at two community colleges along the Front Range of Colorado. He teaches Anatomy, Physiology, Cadaver Dissection, and Pathophysiology (the study of disease and diagnosis). His constant focus in these disciplines provides considerable opportunity to study - and especially convey to students - the damaging effects of cigarette smoking. Christensen is a graduate of California State University and Palmer College of Chiropractic. Prior to teaching, he practiced as a Doctor of Chiropractic in San Diego, California. His entire career focus has been as a healthcare provider and educator."

My name is Sebastian Lindstrom, and I'm the villain of this story. I've decided to lay myself bare. To tell the truth for once in my hollow life, no matter how dark it gets. And I can assure you, it will get so dark that you'll find yourself feeling around the blackened corners of my mind, seeking a door handle that isn't there. Don't mistake this for a confession. I neither seek forgiveness nor would I accept it. My sins are my own. They keep me company. Instead, this is the true tale of how I found her, how I stole her, and how I lost her. She was a damsel, one who already had her white knight. But every fairy tale has a villain, someone waiting in the wings to rip it all down. A scoundrel who will set the world on fire if that means he gets what he wants. That's me. I'm the bad guy.

Despite the vital importance of the emerging area of biotechnology and its role in defense planning and policymaking, no definitive book has been written on the topic for the defense policymaker, the military student, and the private-sector bioscientist interested in the "emerging opportunities market" of national security. This edited volume is intended to help close this gap and provide the necessary backdrop for thinking strategically about biology in defense planning and policymaking. This volume is about applications of the biological sciences, here called "biologically inspired innovations," to the military. Rather than treating biology as a series of threats to be dealt with, such innovations generally approach the biological sciences as a set of opportunities for the military to gain strategic advantage over adversaries. These opportunities range from looking at everything from genes to brains, from enhancing human performance to creating renewable energy, from sensing the environment around us to harnessing its power.

If we lived in a liquid world, the concept of a "machine" would make no sense. Liquid life is metaphor and apparatus that discusses the consequences of thinking, working, and living through liquids. It is an irreducible, paradoxical, parallel, planetary-scale material condition, unevenly distributed spatially, but temporally continuous. It is what remains when logical explanations can no longer account for the experiences that we recognize as part of "being alive."Liquid Life references a third-millennial understanding of matter that seeks to restore the agency of the liquid soul for an ecological era, which has been banished by reductionist, "brute" materialist discourses and mechanical models of life. Offering an alternative worldview of the living realm through a "new materialist" and "liquid" study of matter, Armstrong conjures forth examples of creatures that do not obey mechanistic concepts like predictability, efficiency, and rationality. With the advent of molecular science, an increasingly persuasive ontology of liquid technologies can be identified. Through the lens of lifelike dynamic droplets, the agency for these systems exists at the interfaces between different fields of matter/energy that respond to highly local effects, with no need for a central organizing system.Liquid Life seeks an alternative partnership between humanity and the natural world. It provokes a re-invention of the languages of the living realm to open up alternative spaces for exploration, including contributor Rolf Hughes' "angelology" of language, which explores the transformative invocations of prose poetry, and Simone Ferracina's graphical notations that help shape our concepts of metabolism, upcycling, and designing with fluids. A conceptual and practical toolset for thinking and designing, liquid life reunites us with the irreducible "soul substance" of living things, which will neither be simply "solved," nor go away.

"Readers will be enthralled, chilled, and astonished." -- Tom Piccirilli, author of A Choir of Ill Children. In the first of many references to H. P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu," this thoroughly unique novel begins with the rise of the lost city of R'lyeh, portending certain doom for human existence. The witness to this deadly harbinger is Jack Kerouac, who recruits fellow beats Neal Cassady and William S. Burroughs for a cross-country road trip that will climax in a confrontation with a murderous cult.

This book reveals that scientific logic is an extension of common, everyday logic and that it can and should be understood by everyone. Written by a practicing and successful scientist, it explores why questions arise in science and looks at how questions are tackled, what constitutes a valid answer, and why. The author does not bog the reader down in technical details or lists of facts to memorize. He uses accessible examples, illustrations, and descriptions to address complex issues. The book should prove enlightening to anyone who has been perplexed by the meaning, relevance, and moral or political implications of science.
